Eating Like a Man in Germany

This past weekend, some girls on the trip and I went to Berlin for some history lessons and good brats and beer. After some great walking tours and museum visits, we sat down to some very delicious meals. The first dinner we had was in a very authentic and old-fashioned German restaurant, where the women dressed in plaid dresses and an English menu was non-existent. After pondering the selections and choosing the one that was the most foreign sounding, I ended up getting a pretty tame meal, in terms of exoticness.



Pork, creamed mushrooms, and mashed potatoes

Washed down with a frizzy lemonade drink, I was happy with my first German meal but wanted something that isn't so readily available in the states. We decided to go with a place that was recommended in our travel guide, and it definitely didn't disappoint. Not only was the food amazing, but it the presentation and atmosphere were also excellent. The restaurant was small and dimly light with small tables to create a feeling of intimacy. There were boar and moose heads on the wall and it had its on microbrewery. After some delicious potato schnitzel and brussel sprouts, we had dessert, which was pineapple ravioli with white chocolate inside and apple strudel.





All of this food, paired with the occasional currywurst or donor kebab from a street vendor made for a great trip, gastronomically speaking!
